I agree with this. My current T said several times how it seemed like a breakup from a romantic relationship when I terminated with ex-marriage counselor (for whom I had a lot of paternal and a bit of erotic transference and who also really hurt me near the end). He also said I was grieving a loss and how grief isn't linear, which helped me with my feelings of "I should just be over this already."
